They sat together in the park As the evening sky grew darkShe looked at him He felt a spark tingle to his bonesTwas when he felt alone And wished that he'd gone straightAnd watched out for a simple twist of fate

They walked down by the old canalA little confused I remember wellAnd then they stopped in a strange hotelWith the neon burning brightHe felt the heat of the nightHit him like a freight trainAnd moving with a simple twist of fate

Saxaphone some place nearby playedShe was walking on by at the arcadeAs a light burst through a bead of shadeBut as he was wakingShe dropprd a coin into a cup of a blind manThat became and both got a bout Of a simple twist of fate

He woke up and the room was bearHe didn't see he anywhereHe told himself he didn't careHe pushed the window open wideHe felt an emptyness inside tooHe could just not relateBut by a simple twist of fate

He hears the ticking of the clocksSmall waves whisper to the rocksHe hunts her down by the waterfront docksWhere the sailors all come inPerhaps he'll see her once againHow long must he wait once moreFor a simple twist of fate

People tell me it's a crimeTo feel to much at any one timeAll it cost me was a dime But the bells refuse to ringHe was born in the springBut I was born to late to blameIt on a simple twist of fate
